In the sixth inning of the Angels' 4-2 win, Astros outfielder Chris Carter hit a popup in front of the Astros' dugout. Angels catcher Hank Conger was camped under the ball at the dugout railing with first baseman Mark Trumbo charging in, but no one caught the ball. Conger was charged with an error that was overturned after the official scorer learned someone had yelled something to Conger from the Houston dugout.

Porter acknowledged someone yelled at Conger, but he wouldn't say if it came from a player or a coach or what exactly was said. Conger told reporters he thought someone yelled, "I got it!"

"It came from our dugout," Porter said. "I called Mike this morning and he and I had a good conversation about it. I apologized to him on behalf of our ballclub. It's nothing I condone, but I take full responsibility and it won't happen again. It was handled the way it should be handled."

Earlier this year, Porter apologized to Scioscia for inadvertently making an illegal pitching change, a move that led to a two-game suspension and fine of umpire crew chief Fieldin Culbreth and fines for the rest of his crew.
